Harley Benton R-456FR BK Progressive Series Reviews

Excellent Guitar

I bought this guitar for my son, it looks good, great built and sound very good

Lovely guitar well finished nothing I can find as far as faults go. Looks the business play really nice frets perfect out of the box you won’t find better for the price. The one got was black high gloss would have preferred matt. But it is a beautiful guitar absolutely no problem with the floyed rose trem looks mean sounds mean very very happy with my purchase.

Good rock guitar. It's one of my prefer. I'd like it. Advise.

nice axe for the price

floyd is a 1000 and it works as it supposed

guitar came out already with a proper set up

can be a main guitar a backup or a first guitar with a Floyd system for whom never had it before .

I enjoy it . it's also light weight and easy to handle instrument.

The guitar is very beautiful, good sound, smooth neck, frets are well polished,but I got the guitar with a little damage,it spoiled the whole mood of the purchase

Quality German Equipment

I give this guitar a 5 star rating because this thing is just bad-ass.! Its got a fast neck, plays good and looks sexy as hell.! It took me a min to get it in tune because the strings was so new but once i got it in tune and locked it down thats all i had to do... It needed no neck adjustments, no fret leveling, no intonation adjustments.! Ive been playing for many years and have had big name brand guitars and i'm impressed with Harley Benton Guitars.! I've got my eye on a few more Harley Benton's already... Love this guitar man.! Buy it.! This is a must to have in your collection... I dont think you'll be disappointed

Love

I like that guitar !

Amazingly all round playability

The 456 FR BK looks stunning in it's black finish. This guitar comes with a Floyd Rose tremolo, which combined with good pickups and HB quality strings, offers a lot when you consider the price for this guitar.

Out of the box it played very well with no issues.

For me, the FR tremolo took a bit of getting used to. But there is much on-line information that helped me make a few adjustments to my liking.

I have been using it mainly for practice, blues to rock... and as such it has become to my go-to guitar. It just feels right when I play it.

The perfect Floyd Royz guitar with ultra low price.

The perfect Floyd Royz guitar with ultra low price.

The guitar has a great view.

In technical terms, the design is all done perfectly.

All items are in place.

The volume and tone controls do not interfere with the intense play with the right hand.

Guitars of famous companies with a price tag several times higher look no better.

The neck has a regular shape with well rolled frets. No modifications are required.

After a small adjustment of the neck deflection, it was possible to minimize the height of the strings. What contributes to a quick game.

The sound is clear and transparent.

Floyd Royz is working fine.

The only flaw in the softness of the metal saddles.

It would be ideal to have an additional option for a surcharge on installing Floyd Royza with a stronger metal.

The best guitar you can buy for the money.

Suitable for both beginners and advanced guitarists who need practicality.

Cheaper guitar with original Floyd Rose

I was interested to buy this guitar when I read its specification which mentioned that this guitar has Floyd Rose Special Locking Tremolo System....and price of this guitar only 148Euro...then i see in Floyd rose website, retail price for Floyd Rose Special is around 83 Dollars....then, since i know the price of the tremolo and price of the guitar, I have a question, is this guitar made from real wood?...then is it...

I received this guitar and it just like my expectation...sound great with stable tremolo...nothing special with the finishing, but I like black and that's enough...I like it hambuckers pick up but I've decided to change it with some Seymour duncan or Dimarzio...for it price, for me this guitar and its specification is ideal to be some upgrade project...

Good copy of the real thing

So after a nice toy to play with wanting a little bit of a chred machine i decided to go with this as i wouldnt be using it that much compared to the other guitars i have.

I am very impressed the pickups are very good indeed, i wouldnt say they are high output but they do scream (what i mean is volume isnt overly loud but the sound is such) and give the high output sound. They also clean up very well with a little roll off of the volume, and if you want a bit of grit leave the volume up and a bit of clean tone and they break up well.

The finish is immaculate as i have come to expect with the Harley bentons i have now had.

The part i was most worried about was the trem, it does seem to do its job and do its job well, im not into huge dive bombs etc but using it for "mild trem use" it returns to tune each time and i've had no problems at all as yet

The only con i have found is that one of the pots is a little scratchy
